in 1980 when jimmy carter was running for re-election and ronald reagan running against him. are you better off than you were four years ago. the answer then was clearly no. it was a good question to ask then. i'm not sure republicans ought to be asking it today because i think it is a different answer today. democrats finally, on this issue and love your take on that. 1-866-55-press. let's get into it. democrats got off to a little rocky start on sunday. bob schieffer welcomed governor martin o'malley whom i think is great by the way. clearly will be a candidate for president in 2016. great leader. but he wasn't thinking as fast as he usually does when bob schieffer asked him this question on sunday and he stumbled a little bit. >> can you honestly say that people are better off today than they were four years ago? >> no. but that's not the question of this election. the question, without a doubt we are not as well off as we were before george bush brought us the bush job losses, the bush recession, the bush deficits, the series of desert wars. >> bill: he got around to it b

they love to quote ronald reagan but when he says something sensible, they disassociate. he is absolutely correct. one of the things the boehner proposal does is reduces social security benefits so if you are making a billion dollars, you get your tax cut but if you are an 85-year-old social security recipient, you get a social security cut. how is that fair? >> if only they would listen to ronald reagan and raise taxes when necessary and get their grum -- grimey hands off social security, we would all be better off. congressman steve israel, you are doing a great job. thanks for coming in. all right? back at the dccc. good for you? >> thank you. >> on your radio and on current tv this is "the bill press show."

paul ryan said the same thing that ronald reagan said in the 80's. they called it voodoo economics. >> that's right. >> he's trying to peddle the same stuff. the republican party has based their whole party on low taxes for millionaires. even they know it doesn't work. it doesn't. the proof's in the pudding but it would really invalidate their party if they said it didn't work, let's do something else. >> sometimes facts have to come into this. as bill clinton said in charlotte, what happened to math? >> right. i heard another show this morning that whoever runs this presidential race, we know who's going to win should do a jimmy carter, like the palestinian leader and take them to camp david and sit them in a room and let them play chess and everything. the problem with that is grover norquist will be sitting in the driveway saying no taxes, no new taxes. >> all that made the pledge to norquist i thought the pledge was supposed to be to the united states of america to the rest of us. thank you tony for calling in. i thought the pledge was supposed t

reagan, gerry ford, the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit that have provided. so there's just so much contradiction in what mitt romney said. we'll take a quick break and bring knew the conversation here with victoria jones about the romney comments on his now infamous video. a video that he says has been debunked and ann romney says was taken out of context. what possible context is the right context to say that half of americans are freeloaders? maybe she should stick to dressage, you think? >> indeed. she didn't do very well there. we won. >> bill: no. remember, you're an american citizen now. >> they won. >> bill: the brits won. victoria jones. call us at 1-866-55-press. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show" live on your radio and on current tv. trickle down does not work. in romney's world, cars get the elevator and the workers get the shaft. that is a whole bunch of bunk. the powerful may steal an election, but they can't steal from silver screens... to flat screens... twizzlerize your entertainment everyday with twizzlers the twist you can't resist

ronald reagan wouldn't fit in with them. chris christie of course will be a part of that camp. >> immigration is going to be a real good test case. you'll see this divide between that brand of moderate republicans saying that immigration is an economic issue. that we need to bring in people with the skills that america needs to power the economy and on the other side, folks like steve king and michele bachmann who use those emotional appeals of they'll take your jobs, they're from another country and so on and so forth. how that plays out will be key to what the party becomes. >> john: you can't win the white house with less than 40% of the latino vote. the pragmatic republican response would be let's find a pathway to citizen. you have sean hannity saying this now. >> what a conversion. >> john: everyone in politics -- >> how convenient. >> john: in fairness, both sides historically have cared more about electability than ideology. >> true. but this is a party who when bush did it, when democrats tried to bring forward a dr

that's the same rate that was signed into law by ronald reagan in 1986. we it had it through the '90s. that would basically ensure people like mitt romney are not able to pay extraordinarily low rates on their income. >> bill: we have to remember that this is classically called unearned income. money that they really don't work for. that's another failure of the tax code to me is that people that really bust their butts and work up a sweat and have to take a shower when they get home from work, they pay a higher rate on that income, a much higher rate on income than people who just sit home and clip their coupons. >> that's absolutely right. there are a whole bunch of other loopholes that mitt romney is taking advantage of including stashing money in his i.r.a. and all sorts of things we would crack down on and address those issues of fairness. that really is a problem when you're filling out your taxes. you're thinking how come i'm doing this. i'm sure there's rich guy out there getting away with something. the fact is, there are. >> bill: it is the big
